I, too, wasn't aware that certain words could crash Eloquence. As it
happens, I loaded some new software on my pc yesterday and everything was
working fine when I was doing email. Then I came across that message, and,
sure enough, it crashed, even with the spaces. That struck me as strange,
but it did it more than once so I have to believe that there was something
to it. I think the writer of the original message was very responsible in
bringing this to the list and using the subject line to let people know what
it was about. I for one will proceed with caution whenever I encounter that
kind of subject line again.
